All players, coaches and team / club officials are required to be registered on the Play Football Registration
System (as previously communicated to all Clubs).
All persons must be made ‘active’ in the Play Football Registration System, in order to be eligible to play /
coach / manage during the 2020 season.

3       SPORTS TG (STG) ACCESS

If you do not have STG access to your Club you will need to be granted access. Access is provided on an
individual basis, not a generic Club login.
If you have not set up a STG Passport you will need to do so by going to the following link and registering
for an account: https://passport.sportstg.com/signup
After you have set up your account you will receive an automatically generated email from STG asking
you to confirm your email address by clicking on a link. After you have confirmed your email, please

https://form.jotform.com/capital_football/2020-sports-tg-stg-access-request
4       TEAM SHEETS & ONLINE RESULTS ENTRY PROCEDURES

It is the responsibility of the Away Club, or second listed club to make their player selection in STG by
2:00pm on the Friday prior to the weekend fixture or 2:00pm the day prior to a midweek match.
The Home Club, or first listed club, is required to enter their player selection in STG, and then print and
provide the team sheets on match day.
After the conclusion of the match, the Home Club is responsible for entering the half time and full time
results within 90 minutes of the completion of the final match of the day. Each Club is individually
responsible for entering in the Player Match Statistics for their respective Club after the match.
This includes the allocation of any Red Cards and Yellow Cards as well as entering any manual
amendments to the team sheet (players added or removed from the team sheet, shirt number changes).
How to do this is outlined further in Section 4 of this guide.
Results will automatically upload to the website at times set by Capital Football.
